The fourth winner of SoapNet's I Wanna Be A Soapstar was given a chance to be on NBC's Days of Our Lives, as previously reported. Series actor Bryan Dattilo and talent manager Michael Bruno went to Navy Pier in Chicago last month to search for aspiring individuals to compete for a spot in a daytime drama.
In talking about the search, which was part of I Wanna Be A Soap Star's live nationwide tour, Bruno said, "It's not necessarily their look, it's their energy we're judging. How bad they want to be a soap star."
As Bryan Dattilo appeared in front of the huge crowd, aspiring female contestants went into a screaming frenzy.
"I don't think I can do this," Micheline Magharious said nervously, as other fellow competitors acted in front of the judges. The 34-year-old Days of Our Lives fan even rushed to Dattilo to get his autograph upon his arrival.
Magharious and Dattilo had their picture taken and subsequently a Hammond native Phyllis Ihnit mistook the 36-year-old actor with his on-screen persona, Lucas Roberts and said, "I'm glad the twins are yours!"
Only 30 out of 158 people were chosen to perform on stage, and each of them were given different scenarios which bordered on the ridiculous. At the end of the search, 27-year-old Mildred Langford, Chicago stage actress who also religiously followed General Hospital, emerged victorious.
Langford is now set to compete in October against five other finalists from various cities for the walk-on role on Days of Our Lives.
Bryan Dattilo, who started playing Lucas on the soap in 1993, shared some insights on what it takes to be a real soap actor/actress.
"You have to be able to give your life over to it," he said in a conversation with The Chicago Tribune. "Sometimes you're filming three shows a day. You have to have a sharp memory, be confident and be able to ad lib."
"It's probably the hardest job in acting. You grab your lunch and your hard hat and you work every day," he added.
